Access to Birmingham reception-February 2012

Eight of the University of Birmingham’s scholarship recipients met the University’s Chancellor, Sir Dominic Cadbury, in a reception designed to introduce him to scholarship students funded by his generous support of the University’s Access to Birmingham Scholarship Scheme.

The Access to Birmingham (A2B) scheme is designed to encourage talented students from families and communities in the West Midlands who have little or no experience of Higher Education to gain access to the University of Birmingham. The University of Birmingham was one of the first universities to offer an innovative access scheme for local students and this model is now much copied in the UK.
